Friday, March 27
Cartoon Network's five-time Emmy-nominated Steven Universe is set to begin airing its final 10 episodes beginning Friday, March 6 at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT). New episodes will continue to debut every Friday, ending with a special four-part series finale on March 27 at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT). The final 10 episodes will roll out internationally later in the year.
Steven Universe Future concludes as Steven is beginning to question his purpose as he runs out of Gems to help. Who is he if he's not saving the world? And what is this strange new power that's making him glow pink? Without other peoples' problems to solve, he'll have to finally face his own.
"I'm so excited for the final episodes of Steven Universe Future to be out in the world, and so grateful to our audience for supporting our show for all these years. It has been an eye-opening experience to meet the community that has come together around the show: I have been so moved, and I have felt so seen. I have always been a firm believer in the power of cartoons, and these days it's undeniable: the friendships forged over this show, the artists inspired to draw, the families that watched together and saw each other in these characters, fill me with awe and renew my love of animation every day. Though our epilogue series is coming to a close, please trust that like us, these characters will always be growing, changing, and supporting each other. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for watching our show."
-Rebecca Sugar, creator, Steven Universe
